Instantiating object from inside the main of that class in Java

Question

I was looking through my OOP class documentation and I found this example:

class Student {
    private String name;
    public int averageGrade;


    public         


        

Answer 1

This is just fine.

I know it looks a bit recursive, but what happens is that the main() method gets called when you launch this class from the command line, and then the constructor gets called when you actually instantiate an instance of the object. (See Jon's comment as well.)
